@CougsandDawgsI agree about USU-BYU, but not so much Utah at USC. UCLA is
predicted to take the South and they play at Rice-Eccles where they lost in
2011. The game that doesn't belong is Utah at Oregon. Sure Oregon is highly
and rightfully ranked but that game is beyond winnable for the Utes. They have a
much better shot at beating Stanford at home and their less formidable offense
even if it is quite slim. As for the order of games I think Texas at BYU
is bigger than BYU at Notre Dame for the same reason, it's just more
winnable being at LES.
